OTHER NEWS:
1. Athletics NT has launched the 10km Road NT Championships Race for Sunday morning (21 September 2008), starting at 7:00am. The event will be held at East Point in Darwin, starting and finishing at the Lake Alexander carpark. The course will consist of two 5km loops on an out and back course towards the Gun Turrets. Cost $15:00.
2. Triathlon is on again this weekend in Kununurra.
3. Rob Brooks was unlucky in Singapore. A competitor in front of him lost control of his bike on a tight corner and took Rob with him as he went down. Classic case of no where for Rob to go. He hurt his shoulder and elbow but wasted no time in shaking himself off, getting back on the bike and getting on with it. His 8th place in his age group makes you wonder what could have been except for that misfortune.
4. Rob not the only one to go down. Luke McKenzie also inspected the Singapore bitumen far closer than he would have liked.
5. Simon Thompson had a spell in the medical tent at the end of the race. Thommo took it by the barest of margins - 15 secs - from Terenzo
6. Our own Ali Fitch backed up her 2nd in Ironman Canada a few weeks ago with another podium finish in Singapore 70.3, beating Belinda Granger in the process.
7. New Zealand's Gina Ferguson (2nd in Singapore) had a day in Darwin on the way over and a few days here on the way back.
8. And still on pros, Chris McCormack was back in an unusual 6th at Monaco 70.3, no doubt a hit out for his Hawaii preparations.
9. Ironman 70.3 Singapore date will be earlier next year to move away from a number of major events including the night grand prix. Pencil in 22 March 09 if the event is on your to do list.
10. Looking for a holiday with a purpose? You may be interested in the Nepal Altitude Training Camp (billed as the perfect pre-season preparation). Its seven full days of trekking from 31 Dec 08 to 10 Jan 08. Further information www.tribob.com
